This was the first glimpse that I had of a wild tiger while in India last year. I was pretty far away and kept hoping for a clearing in the trees to get a decent shot. This was it. The tiger would eventually make its way out of the trees and into the open but I kind of liked the way that it was framed by the characteristic Bandhavgarh National Park environment. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/400th of a second (-1/3 stop ev)
I can’t imagine what a rush it must be to see such a magnificent creature this up close and personal. Just viewing this makes me feel good. Thanks, Sean.
I’m so envious having been up close, well almost to one of my favourite big cats. So beautiful. Fantastic shot. Thanks again for sharing it’s as if I’m just standing next to you.

I like this vantage point, too. The tiger is tending to his business and not posing. Beautiful shot of a beautiful animal.
